I laughed when I saw that today was actually “National Toss Away the Could Haves and Should Haves Day”!
Well… if there were ever a holiday made for overthinkers, this might be it.
Raise your hand if you’ve ever replayed a conversation on the drive home and thought, “I should have said…” Or laid awake at 2:00 a.m. thinking, “I could have done that differently.”
Yep. Me too.
The idea behind today is actually pretty sweet. Grab a piece of paper and write down all your “could haves” and “should haves.” Every regret. Every missed opportunity. Every mistake you keep dragging around like an overstuffed suitcase.
Then…
Throw it away.
I kind of love that.
Not because our mistakes don’t matter, but because God’s grace matters more.
I’ve spent far too many days looking in the rearview mirror when God was trying to show me the beautiful road ahead. Yesterday may have taught us a few lessons, but it was never meant to become our permanent address.
So today, I’m tossing out the “I should have…” and making room for, “Thank You, Lord, for another chance.”
Because here’s the truth…
God has never once looked at us and said, “If only you had gotten everything right.”
Instead, He simply says, “Come walk with Me today.”
Life’s too short to carry around yesterday’s luggage. I’m choosing to travel a little lighter today. How about you?❤️
